The Hours We Never Forget

Some memories fade away. Others settle deep within us. And then there are those… we never forget.

Every morning, Léna Morel (or Alex Morel), a solitary photographer with a bittersweet gaze, drinks her cold coffee. This simple gesture awakens a season of life suspended in time, where once beat the heart of a blazing love. A red dress, a burst of laughter in a song, a letter never sent… all fragments of a past that refuses to fade.

In a story blending poignant introspection, shattered memories, and silent hopes, the narrator dives back into the love story that marked their life — with Élise Vernier (or Hugo), radiant and elusive, whose absence has become an obsessive presence. Happy days have given way to silences, distance, and the fateful hour when everything changed.

Between whispered confessions, unexpected encounters, and blank pages left behind, Léna/Alex must confront a universal question: can one love again without betraying what was lost? Can one rebuild without forgetting?

The Hours We Never Forget is a sentimental and realistic novel about the memory of emotions, the mourning of love, and the fragile rebirth of wounded hearts. A bittersweet, melancholic, and poetic journey where each chapter leaves a mark — like the hours forever engraved within us.
